The entire concept of a wyvern is a fairly recent one. Tom Send a noteboard - 16/12/2013 04:48:15 PM

It generally just applies to a two-legged dragon, so in the traditional (i.e., starting in the 17th Century when the term came around) nomenclature, all wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Sorry, two-legged dragons are just goofy, even if they did the best they could with that limitation Cannoli - 13/12/2013 11:13:34 PM 871 Views
I'm glad I am not the only person who cares about that. nossy - 15/12/2013 08:41:48 AM 792 Views
I don't care whether dragons have "hands" or not, as long as it meets all other draconic reqs. Bookwyrm - 15/12/2013 02:16:15 PM 914 Views
Agreed ironclad - 15/12/2013 03:48:13 PM 700 Views

such a good physical match for Legolas Aeryn - 14/12/2013 01:22:21 AM 1013 Views
Thought he looked more elf than Elrond and Galadriel put together. Bookwyrm - 14/12/2013 07:13:00 AM 930 Views
He's also in my favorite movie, The Fall Aeryn - 16/12/2013 06:03:22 PM 1314 Views

So how is the new female elf they introduce "Tauriel" Roland00 - 14/12/2013 05:34:56 AM 834 Views
I liked her ironclad - 14/12/2013 10:43:22 AM 778 Views
A lot of reviews said she was one of the best parts of the movie Aeryn - 16/12/2013 06:05:50 PM 999 Views
Have to say, this was even worse than the first one, and I fear the third one may be still worse. Legolas - 04/01/2014 12:32:51 AM 809 Views
You know what I think. I definitely have spoilers. nossy - 04/01/2014 07:23:52 PM 788 Views
No point in arguing about such things, of course ironclad - 04/01/2014 09:51:07 PM 671 Views

"Hamster", not "Hampster". Tom - 05/01/2014 05:28:48 PM 702 Views
It's a Gerbil from the Hamptons. nossy - 05/01/2014 08:11:39 PM 697 Views
Or perhaps a hipster rodent. All the more reason to poison it. *NM* Tom - 06/01/2014 07:54:13 PM 353 Views
